In between this forum and DoubleBoost, I have had to Google more words than ever, then find out they are cuss words sprinkled about like metal chips on My floor.
Go north a mere few miles from Ashington and they roll their Rs more....but loss of local accents is due to breeding, as people move in larger circles, now car and buses allow you to move further with easy you interact with a wider circle and are influenced by that.

I can even understand the spoken words although some dialects seem to be understood by birth only. Rant on, just let Us know how You really feel.
